It's officially been a year since conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was murdered in cold blood.
Just the day before Kirk was taken from us, on September 9th, 2025, I moderated a conversation between my friends, who have spent nearly half a century in a politically-mixed marriage.
Rick (conservative) and Jeanne (liberal) show us the path forward. Jeanne spoke to how, when she was on chemo therapy, her conservative, National Review-reading neighbor did her laundry and groceries for her while she received treatment.
Just one day after that conversation, Charlie was shot and killed.
You'd think that, in the aftermath of Kirk's assassination, everyone, no matter their ideological persuasion, would come together and unequivocally condemn political violence.
Not so.
While millions mourned, a shocking amount of asocial, chronically-online Leftists took to Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms to mock Kirk's death.
One year later, and they're still at it, posting dances, memes, and other vulgar content celebrating Kirk's murder.
I'll spare you the pictures and videos.
What's More, the newly unveiled Kirk statue in Phoenix was just vandalized with red paint.
These people are sick, and if you know people like this, who cheer on political violence, I'd urge you to disassociate yourself from them.
There is a sickness in America today. One of the asocial variety. This sickness causes you to write love letters to Luigi Mangione, support child-murderers like Lindsay Clancy, and produce satire about the assassination of a father of two children.
These people are sick and need healing.
Some things can't be fixed at the ballot box.
What plagues us today is spiritual.
Let us hope and pray for better days to come.
